Resort's the Best Thing Since Sliced Bread

There's a lot of talk about resort—the official name given to the season in between fall and winter in which designers churn out slightly more commercial collections that may or may not hint at what they'll put on their next runway.

It's a bridge that most designers cross once they've acquired a certain level of critical acclaim and are ready to start building their brand, own more space at Barneys, and pump out cardigans and trousers alongside their fashion forward dresses, which means it's a big moment for Joseph Altuzarra, Prabal Gurung, and the women of Ohne Titel, Alexa Adams and Flora Gill.

The latter launched their collection in 2008, and Altuzarra and Gurung branched out on their own just two years ago—all have been nominated for CFDA/Fashion Fund awards, established a red carpet present and command an impressive front row season after season, so it makes sense they'd start to focus on money. As far as we're concerned, the more to love the better!
